German PACS developer Visus predicted that the market for PACS capable of managing images from multiple sources outside radiology departments will be strong in 2012, and that it had expanded its customer base among hospitals, single- and multi-specialty physician practices, and image screening units in Germany.
Based on feedback from the MEDICA congress in November, the Bochum-headquartered company anticipates growth in image management outside radiology departments, including electrocardiograms and dental imaging. Systems that can interface a large number of types of imaging devices and installed PACS will be required, and it also anticipates more data migration requirements to different image storage solutions.
Visus stated during 2012 it will be focusing on selling its JiveX enterprise and central archive solutions in Europe.
